This book was tremendous--one of the best novels that I have ever read. Perhaps I should have been rolling my eyes at all of the coincidences that were necessary to move the plot along, but for some reason I didn't. The story hung together nicely and just seemed right. Highly recommended.
Kite Runner is a good book to compare with Atonement by Ian McEwan - similar themes but different outcomes. I liked Kite Runner a lot better.
ReplyDeleteJulie,
ReplyDeleteI can’t agree with you more. My book club read Kite Runner last year. Before we arrived to book club every single one of us loved the book - this is rare. When we left each of us were a bit less impressed by the book due to the coincidences. This is a great book, I recommend it, I just don’t recommend discussing it too much because the strings easily unravel. BTW. Great idea for a blog. I’m a new regular.
